Fusion 360 alternatives

Depending on what you’re going to design whether its more artsy stuff or more accurate stuff would decide if fusion is for you or not. If you’re looking to make parts like gussets,brackets, mounts stuff like that fusion would be a good choice. Even with the hobbiest version it has all the features plus more that are necessary also you do have to be connected to the internet but it works offline for 2 weeks before needing to connect.
If its more artsy stuff inkscape or affinity along with sheetcam would be your best choice to save a lot of headaches.
Biggest problem with fusion and new users is they will download this complex design load it into fusion and not have a clue what there doing and blame it on fusion being terrible. There definitely is a learning curve with fusion but there’s also a learning curve with any other program as well just have to decide what your going to do most and choose.
